EMERGE has a unique approach to counseling in that it combines excellent clinical counseling theories and practices with spiritual and theological integration. Counseling at EMERGE views each individual as a unique child of God with redemptive potential. The focus of counseling is to help individuals heal and find freedom in order to more fully walk in who God has created them to be. The goal is not simply behavior change, rather the goal is inner transformation so that each individual can engage in relationships with self, others, and God in healthier, more fulfilling and meaningful ways.

Educational opportunities at EMERGE include training for individuals desiring to strengthen their counseling skills through the Center for Pastoral Counseling or professional training events. EMERGE also provides preventative mental health care through community workshops, Healthy Pastors Seminars, Marriage Tune-Ups, topic-driven seminars and/or Marriage Retreats by clinicians and team members at EMERGE or the location of your choosing.

For over 45 years, Emerge has become a go-to place for people facing all types of mental, emotional, relational and spiritual challenges and distress. Our clinical team serves adults, adolescents and children every week. Some whole families utilize the services we provide.

Locally and regionally, Emerge is trusted and respected by people from all walks of life. 25,000 + hours of counseling occur each year at our Counseling Center and at various church sites. People of all ages and walks of life find the help and support they need at Emerge.
